I recently got the opportunity to teach my Granddaughter about the humble Inch Worm. 

As a child I was taught that if an Inch Worm inched along your arm or leg it meant he/she was measuring you for a new dress.

Francesca has a bit of an insect phobia...so this was a great calm Caterpillar to help quell her fears.

By the Way....she got a new dress along with a matching one for her American Girl Doll. Those Inch worms certainly are amazing!!!

I have included the Youtube video of Danny Kaye singing the Inch-worm Song from the 1952 movie Hans Christian Andserson. 

Hope y'all are enjoying the Inch Worms!
